MOSCOW — Three Soviet cosmonauts were launched into space Tuesday and will join two cosmonauts in the Salyut 7 space station, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported. Flight commander Vladimir Vasyutin, pilot Georgy Grechko and researcher Alexander Volkov are to carry out scientific and technical studies with Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, who have been living and working on the station since June 6, Tass said. It did not give any details and did not say how long the three would remain aloft or when their Soyuz T-14 spacecraft would dock with Salyut 7.
